Default any guides to do a mini-me swap?

I did a search and could find a guide for a mini me swap on a 99 civic.

I also checked hybrid honda, but came up with nothing.

thanks

unfortunatly I don't have teh money to drive a gsxr, a lexus and a done out EG, so mini me swap will have to do for me.

I'd love a B, but I just can't afford it. I just need a little more power and down want to pay too much.

Im going to chime in here since ive had a lot of experience with the mini-me swap.. I did my own about a half a year ago, but i swapped in another motor (for turbo) The mini-me is a nice swap, vtec is pretty cool.. but dont expect too much from it. It requires a lot of tuning and you need to use the RIGHT parts.. some people i have talked to say that the motor just doesnt right with this setup. this could be for many different reasons.. to get it running right your gonna need to use the whole vtec setup, Vtec ECU, injectors, distrib.. the non vtec ECU just doesnt give the right feeling (fuel mapping is different) but its a good cheap swap..
